Ask Perlin, the VYBE.ART creative agent, for something like this and it builds a piece like it. Start from this prompt and change any part of it: the look, the mood, the rules, the sound.

How it’s made

Lava Flow is a GLSL shader. It is a single GLSL fragment shader, a small program your graphics card runs for every pixel of every frame, live in your browser.

Make it yours

  1. Open it in the studio, where it plays with its controls, and its code is a click away.
  2. Tell Perlin what to change in a sentence: a colour, a mood, a new rule, a sound.
  3. Bend it with its sliders, or put it on a timeline and render it to video.
  4. Publish it to the community, share its link or embed it on your site.
